Sonic Boom gets a November release date for Wii U and 3DS

Sega has recently announced that the latest games in the Sonic franchise will hit stores this November. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric will arrive on the Wii U on November 18th will Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal will hit the 3DS a week earlier on November 11th. These games will be part of the new "Sonic Boom initiative" that will usher in new gameplay based on action-adventure combat, new characters, and new storylines that will carry through the franchises' first CG-animated series. Well, here's hoping it turns out better than the somewhat disappointing Sonic Lost World games.
